The Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has been wed to actor Michael Douglas for more than 20 years. The duo has become known as one of Hollywood’s most interesting couples as a result of their protracted relationship.
Douglas and Zeta-Jones met for the first time in 1998 at a film festival where Douglas was promoting ‘A Perfect Murder.’ Zeta-Jones had caught Douglas’ attention a month earlier after he saw her in the movie ‘The Mask Zorro.’
He was therefore curious to find out if she would be there and by herself when he learned that the movie will be shown at the festival.
In order to schedule a date with Zeta Jones, the actor asked his assistant to confirm her availability. The actress was only present for one evening, but she was willing to go out for a drink with Douglas.
The two eventually sat down for a drink, and Zeta-Jones then extended an invitation for Douglas to join the group for dinner.
The ‘Fatal Attraction’actor complied, and Zeta-Jones’ hotel bar was the location of Douglas and Zeta-Jones’ subsequent outing.
The two talked over cocktails as the meeting seemed to be going well. However, a serious error from Douglas would all but destroy their ensemble. I’m going to be the father of your children, the actor informed Zeta-Jones.
Sadly, the actress appeared outraged by Douglas’s remarks and responded as follows (per The Mirror): ‘Goodnight,’ saying, ‘I’ve heard a lot about you, and I guess it’s all true.’
The next morning she checked out of the hotel and went out in annoyance. Douglas believed he had lost the opportunity to date the attractive Welsh actress at that point.
In regards to his children, Douglas has a lot to be proud of. Fortunately, the couple got back in touch, and the actor was able to win Zeta Jones over.
Ever since, they have been a couple. The relationship between Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones is described in more detail below.
Prior to exchanging wedding vows in 2000, Douglas and Zeta-Jones dated for some time. The power couple grew their family that same year with the birth of their first son, Dylan.
Carys, the couple’s daughter and second child, joined the family in 2003. Douglas feels that having smaller children later in life has allowed him to keep his attention on the important things in life.
Although many people disapprove of it, the actor previously admitted that having two children later in life, after his career had taken off, gave him more time with his family.
In addition to spending time with his family, Douglas acknowledged that becoming older helped him recognize the areas that need more focus. The actor claims (via The Mirror):
‘The benefit of being older is that you become much more selective about how you spend your time. You wake up in the morning and consider your plans for the coming week rather than just letting things happen as they may.’
Because time had become ‘limited,’ Douglas disclosed that he schedules vacations three and six months in advance.
In the end, Douglas will always find time for his family, regardless of how limited his time has become. Zeta-Jones and his kids are among the actor’s finest achievements, he has said.
In regards to his children, Douglas has a lot to be proud of. Dylan and Carys, who are still young, have decided to follow in their parents’ footsteps and pursue careers in show business. The brothers and sisters are interested in the film and music industries.
Additionally, Carys has a passion for fashion, which she demonstrated in 2019 when she made an appearance with her gorgeous mother in the September issue of Vanity Fair, Spain.
Along with their professional successes, Dylan and Carys also excel in other facets of their lives, such as academics.
For instance, Carys’ parents couldn’t be more pleased that their daughter received honors for her International Baccalaureate when she graduated in May 2021.
Then, Dylan completed his undergraduate education in May 2022, and Zeta-Jones celebrated the occasion with an Instagram post. She captioned a photo of her and Dylan on their wedding day as follows:
‘Congratulations on your graduation, Dylan, my son, my pride, and my delight. I cannot express how proud I am of you and how much I care for you.’
The relationship between Douglas and his family is pretty admirable, and netizens have had the opportunity to witness it. In a recent film showcasing their ‘family vibe,’ the close-knit family once again demonstrated their unbreakable family bond.
Zeta-Jones posted a video of her, her husband, and their children dancing on Instagram. The three performed their moves in pairs, father and daughter, mother and son, all while grinning broadly. Over 200,000 people on the internet clicked the ‘like’ button in response to the lovely sight.

Other Instagram users expressed their opinions in the comments area. Sadly, not everyone was complimentary because some people were perplexed. One commenter wrote:
‘It’s amusing how many people can view this and think, ‘Oh, this is absolutely normal.’ He’s going to try to kiss his daughter how many times?’
Another user added the following comment:
For me, that is exactly a little creepy.
Another respondent agreed with the second user’s words, adding that she hoped ‘it was just an innocent little dance of family.’
On the other hand, most fans expressed nothing but adoration. One fan wrote:
‘It’s great that you can enjoy yourself like this at home. Family is the most!👏’
